Yellasian aid arrives in Eurussia



Ships from the Greater Yellasian navy as well as non-militarised medical ships arrived in northern Eurussia this morning to provide more shipments of necessary goods, such as food, clothes, and bottled water. Medical assistance will also be provided.

Yellasia has pledged to aid in reconstruction and the long term development of the region.

Organisation of Unrepresented Peoples publicly responds to Eurussia

A spokesperson for the Organisation of Unrepresented Peoples- a new non-governmental, non-profit organisation who's allegations of colonialism have sparked controversy- has publicly responded to Eurussia's assertion that 'colonialism' is a inappropriate term.

Our intent is not to discredit Eurussian democracy. We are aware of Eurussia's system of governance and the autonomy granted towards national minorities. We are not singling out Eurussia. Our report discusses several global colonial powers, many being fully functional democracies with recognition and/or autonomy for national minorities. Of those, only one- the Empire of Articmainia- officially uses the term 'colonialism'. Make no mistake though; colonialism is far more than a simple political structure. It is a deeply embedded social construct that effects all of its victims. The past does not simply remain in the past. Even when it comes to 'empires' such as Aloia and Yellasia- nations who have done much to reconcile with their colonial past and reverse past harm- we must ensure that the representation of national minorities is fair, and if the will of the people is to do so- ensure peaceful independence for all unrepresented peoples.

Our fears stem from the recent actions of far-reaching empires such as Great Eurussia and Dromoda- unjust annexation without the genuine consent of the people. Such actions reflect a move towards global hegemony and a new form of colonialism. Current situations have compelled us to spread our scope beyond that of just the Low people- but to the untold stories of underrepresented peoples across the globe- including those whose fate was decided many years ago.

The group's statements have sparked controversy in Yellasia and abroad.

Few hours ago, the Electoral Commission of the Landsraad officially announced the results of the yesterday elections for the Royal Diet.
Results which give an undoubted victory to the Right-wing Royal Tarajan Conservative Party led by Marquis Uriel Van De Groot, which surpassed the liberal Blue Party and the Tarajan Social-Democratic Party, its major rivals in the competition, obtaining a majority of 61% (in front of the 25% of the liberals and 12% of the social-democrats). The Movement for Regeneration of Baron Van Oeerstaedt has been almost destroyed, with a slight 2%.
"This is the most strong and clear signal the people of Tarajan could have sent to us" commented Marcus Leen, prominent member of the RTCP, at his third mandate in the Royal Diet "The people of New Tarajan asked us to keep going on the way we have already followed until now" he continued "and to change New Tarajan for better, in the respect of the glorious Declaration." (the Declaration of Regeneration, document issued by King Conrad III, which marked the birth of the new Kingdom; it has the role of a Constitution, n.d.r).


PM Van De Groot celebrating with his supporters.

But these results have also another meaning, something that, in his speech during the celebrations, PM Van De Groot demonstrated to understand very well: "The people of New Tarajan is sick and tired to see their beloved country treated as a minor actor in the international arena" he said in front of a 10.000-strong crowd during a temporary pause of the Shraman Conference: "From now for the time to come, everybody in the World Alliance could expect New Tarajan to take its role at the side of all those peace-loving countries, like Eurasia, Shirouma, Antanares, Ivania (only to mention few of them) which demonstrated their commitment for peace, order and stability, and their friendship with us. New Tarajan is now ready to take the place it deserves."
And, strong of the electoral results, Van De Groot decided to declare the lines of his new foreign policies clearly, without hiding nothing: "Our New Diplomacy will continue" he said "and our Kingdom will continue to support the fight against imperialism in every corner of the world. Every country which will be aggrieved without justification; every nation which will see itself subject to imperialistic goals of foreign countries; all of them will have in Astana a friend and an ally."
Former Deputy Minister Princess Wali Esther Farah Rumaki will be substituted by a new entry of the Tarajani political world: Count Rudolph Van Hagen; the Princess herself, leader of the Blue Party, announced the defeat with calm words: "The Blue Party will cooperate with the majority case by case" she said.


The issue of the so-called Moscow Peace Summit, organized by Eurussia to find a solution "behind the scenes" to the Kennyland Crisis, and which created much bad mood in New Tarajan diplomatic spheres, finally comes to the attention of the Landsraad.
With a surprising move, Marcus Leen, member of the RTCP, officially asked to the Royal Diet and the Landsraad to express their position about the issue, particularly regarding the way the government handled with it until now.
In order to answer to the Landsraad (while the Diet is still assembling itself), PM Van De Groot firmly defended his actions, at the same time finally revealing to the country the truth: "I felt deeply disappointed by the behavior taken by Moscow during the on-going Kennyland Crisis. They organized a sort of "shadow" meeting which undermined our efforts for diplomacy; honestly, I believe they have done this only for their own national self-esteem.
At the proposal to use the WA Government to violate the sovereign rights of Kennyland, a proposal they issued, the government answered with a deep sense of outrage. And I mean to repeat, here, now, once and for all, that New Tarajan will never tolerate any act aimed at undermining the constitutional rights of any country, particularly if coming from the self-proclaimed paladins of those rights. Sincerely, I felt like Eurussia gave to me, to us, a deep stab-in-the-backs."
"While at the beginning with tried to link the two Summits (the one in Moscow and the true, legitimate Conference in Shraman) in order to maximize the efficiency of the efforts of every country, we found ourselves in front of a wall of closeness by Moscow. They decided to keep staying in their Summit, and I have no doubts about their true intentions. And, for this reason, I am sure the entire Kingdom and the Empire can rightly feel themselves outraged by what's happening."
The Prime Minister also continued by saying that "the efforts, and never-ending commitment of His Majesty the King and Emperor to re-build once again strong ties with Eurussia are commendable. But I fear they have met with the same wall of closeness I mentioned before."
Thus, in front of King Friederick himself, who personally chaired the Landsraad meeting, he concluded: "Eurussia is not seeking peace with us. I am sorry to inform this Assembly, and the people of New Tarajan, that after years of attempted negotiations, and even now, that a Conference is being held in New Warsaw under the offices of the Eurasian Government, what Moscow is searching for is a surrender.
I hope to be wrong. But, in this case, they will have to demonstrate this to us. New Tarajan will continue to keep a door open for Moscow; we will continue also to participate to the Conference in New Warsaw. But we have nothing more to say to them."
The Landsraad will now have to issue its own judgement over the entire issue, as agreed also by the government itself.


Palace Van Geldern, seat of the Landsraad.


And with the election results still "hot", New Tarajan diplomacy achieves another milestone in its history.
Landing early this morning in Astana, the Dragon King Dorje Dharmapada, Head of State of Shambhala Sangha, met His Majesty King Friederick Wilhelm and Prime Minister Van De Groot for his first official State visit abroad.
But the journey had also another, more concrete goal: indeed, Shambhala Sangha asked to become a Protectorate of the Kingdom of New Tarajan, a situation formalized by a treaty between the two countries.
Thank to the agreement, Shambhala Sangha will enjoy the full Tarajani political and military protection, while slowly recovering its own economy thanks to new massive investments by the powerful financial sector of the Kingdom, which will be particularly directed through a specialized agency, the Tarajani-Shambhala Investments Authority (TSIA).
The aim of the agreement is clear, as said by King Friederick himself: "Shambhala Sangha wishes to gain the place it deserves in the International Community. But, obviously, such a long-term goal needs some requirements to be met: internal stability, international protection, economical prosperity. And this is exactly what New Tarajan will do in Shambhala Sangha: we will help them stabilize their domestic affairs; we'll protect them from any external threat; we'll help them reconstructing their economy, thanks to investments, training, the transmission of technological know-how."
The King specified that "This state of affairs is only temporary. When the government of Shambhala Sangha will believe to be the right time, the Treaty of Protectorate will be changed by a Treaty of Mutual Alliance, Friendship and Cooperation. That time, Shambhala Sangha will finally rise on its own legs."
A fact underlined also by PM Van De Groot, who briefly met the Dragon King before coming back to Shraman: "This is how New Tarajan and the countries which really love peace, like us, behave. We do not annex unilaterally, we do not violate rights. We offer our hands."
Shambhala Sangha also officially joined the Empire, thus becoming the tenth Imperial State. The OMNI Enforcer is already sending many specialized trainers to help the military of the country recovering and modernizing itself.
Huge celebrations have been organized to celebrate the event, and the Dragon King has been welcomed with all the honours. King Friederick decided to personally welcome him at the Airport, and accomodated the guest in the Royal Palace, a privilege reserved to fews.
He also offered, among a military parade, a sumptuous Banquet (which saw the participation of the entire Tarajani aristocracy) and a theatrical show, to accompain the young sovereign in a brief tour of the country.




The new strong and firm stance the Kingdom will take in international relations is already visible.
After soldiers of Magni Quas opened fire over Irish troops, the Imperial Council immediately declared that "New Tarajan will send aids to Ireland, in order to defend themselves against this unjustified aggression."
The Council will also address the on-going Third SECURS Assembly for activating the clauses of the SECURS Charter, thus activating the powerful collective defense system of the Organization.
In the meanwhile, the OMNI Enforcer already dispatched many air squadrons, equipped with the new FX-550 Skygraspers, a number of paratroopers and also the 5th Fleet to Ireland.



Condolences have been sent to Tokugawa by His Majesty King Friederick, on behalf of the entire country, to express "our shock and pain for what happened to the young Shogun" brutally assassinated.
"New Tarajan will cooperate to bring the responsibles of such a terrible crime to justice" said the message "We are ready to support the government of Fujinomiya with every necessary mean."

Articmainia takes action on Imbistan.

After all the refugees that the Articmainian colony can take the Emperor has decided to take action on the corrupt Regornian government in Imbistan. Emperor is doing this because he basically is defending the innocent in the name of humanity as the Regornian government has stated that it is executing 10,000 innocent people and some of that 10,000 are Articmainians.
The Emperor will be sending 23,950 Imperial Marines and our supported by 150 helicopters and airplanes.

Operation Overwhelm Launched

Operation Overwhelm, which was created incase of an Articmainian retaliation, has been given the go ahead. Over 250,000 troops stationed at the border swarmed into Articmainian Texania, quickly taking prisoner several hundred Articmainian soldiers caught planning an attack. They were ambushed. Another 500,000 troops will support the thrust towards the former capital of Texania, which is now in articmainia. The small Articmainian shore was captured within hours, successfully cutting off supplies to many enemy troops. Our great leader has also taken a "no prisoners" stance, so for now on, all Articmainian prisoners will be forced to serve as "minetrippers" in the People's Army of Regornia, with exception of the first 200 soldiers captured, who will be paraded around Regornia to boost morale. Only 8,000 Regornian conscripts have died so far, compared to a an estimated 1200 articmainians killed, and 357 articmainians captured( not including 500 Articmainian wounded that have been captured.

NEWS FROM ANTANARES

Antanares moves to Jillin

A ship of the 7th Fleet leaves the port of Targahar

Articmainia stalls Regornian Invaders and Articmainia starts its own counter offensive.


As the Regornian terrorist launch their offensive called operation overwhelm which aims to take the colonial city of Numenburg Articmainia has finally stalled. The Emperor calls up its 5 reserve divisions and 5 Home guard divistions to defend the city of Numenburg. The Emperor also plans to counter the Regornian terrorist with the help of Eurussian troops. Their goal is to push the Regornian terrorist back across the border out of the Articmainian colony. The Emperor is also sending 2nd fleet to invade western Imbistan and to destroy military bases and destroy airfields and war factorys. The Emperor calls it Operation Artic Shield it is design to push the terrorist back across the border while also invading western Imbistan at the same time.

Regornia fortifies its beachheads.

In an effort to prepare for the Articmainian invasion, several thousand engineers have been sent to strengthen the beachhead. Over 40,000 have been sent to specifically defend the beachhead, with an unconfirmed number of reserves. Anti Ship guns have also started construction. Great leader has also ordered the construction of a network of tunnels. Great leader has also readied the 500,000 reserves in "New Regornia" to assault the 10 unready divisions, which could be at max, 150,000 troops. The airforce has also started a bombing campaign to bomb out the city of Numenburg.

OOC: Articmainia, how did you manage to recruit 150,000 men from a city under besiege from all directions? Anti air would have shot down any planes dropping parachutists, and regornian soldiers would be able to shoot at the undefended parachutists. Please TG me.

Articmainia starts all out Bombing on the coast of Imbistan and its airfields

After Regornia starts to build up on the coast the Emperor orders all Battleships to fire their tomahawk missiles at the beach head to destroy their defences and sends the elite 501st squadron to help the bombers wipe out the airforce. Some of the Bombers bombing the airfieds our Articmainia's stealth Drones. As the Regornians continue to bomb the city of Numenburg the Articmainian Generals desided to send 200 Fighter jets from the mainland to take out enemy fighter bombers attacking the city. As the battle rages in the air on the ground there has been some success on retaking the Artic colonial beachhead which cut off the supplies going into the colony. The Emperor says "its vital to retake the beachhead to crush our enemy." So far the Articmainians created two bulges but our slowly pushing forward.

The NZDF has gone the final step and called in a war time active service state as tensions between Dromoda and KennyLand fail to subside. The NZDF is mobilising all of it's combat forces, including reserves, and placing 30% on mainland defence and leaving the other 70% unspecified. Furthermore the government central "Goliath" supercomputer array has been placed into lockdown and the "Fire Dome" missile and ariel defence grid has been taken out of passive mode and placed on active lock on. Private fliers have been told not to go out flying anytime in the near future, for risk of being identified and targeted by the "Fire Dome" system as an enemy/unidentified object. However, Air New-Zealand (and certain other major airlines) have been assured that they can continue to fly their commercial planes in and out of the NZ airspace as their planes are fitted with transponders and communications units that can be easily identified as not being a threat, and on the off chance that for some odd reason their planes are not properly identified, their communications units will be capable of swiftly reaching NZDF Air Traffic monitoring stations and the issue can be cleared up before the "Fire Dome" system engages the plane.
